POS fuel blocks and sovereignty

I'd had a read of the forums and done a fair amount of googling but can't see any details on the impact, if any, of sovereignty and fuel blocks.

At the moment, we get a reduction on the amount of fuel required due to holding sovereignty. Any ideas if we will still receive a bonus once changeover happens? If so, some numbers would be nice.

Thanks

yes, you still get the sov bonuses. Not sure if it's the same bonus as CURRENTLY, but you will get something.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

They have made no mention of changing the magnitude, and the original 4 block plan would have given lage POSes the full 25% discount.

I imagine it will continue to be 25%.

Faction tower fuel savings was addressed. Does this mean we will also get a fuel use bonus for Sov?
Yes.

Thanks for the responses so far. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as I assume it will be in the form of less blocks per hour rather than less materials per run of blocks.

On a related note, the block system seems to remove the cost differential between running, say, 1 large tower Vs 4 small ones. Interesting times.

Why in gods name would Sov affect manufacturing?


... the second is actually a good point... I'll have to look into running more, smaller POSes.
